It's truly the best machine I've ever owned

I've been looking for a decent bean-to-cup machine for a while now, to replace my pod machine. Not wanting to pay full price, I've bought through Amazon Warehouse - and in the past had a disappointing result with two Delonghi Eletta machines (both were faulty). So when I saw one of the these machines come up for a good price, I thought it was time to try again. Firstly, when you look at this machine you don't initially think it does a one-touch latte - but it does. The milk frother is right in the middle, on the front, and slides down into the milk in your cup (check Youtube for videos). Once that's done, a single press selects your milk-based coffee drink and it froths-away, then grinds & 'pours' the coffee. The frother is easily removed, cleaned, and put back on again afterwards. In fact, I prefer this frothing method to the old one on my pod machine (which had a tank of milk that you had to keep in the fridge). I no longer need fridge-space for it, nor do I have to worry about the milk going off, nor do I need to clean it - since this machine doesn't need one. So what you think is a down-side to this machine (since you expect there to be a milk tank) is actually a big benefit. Also, I no longer need to pre-heat my coffee cup - the frother does a good job of heating the milk as well, provided you don't add too much cold milk in the first place. The (faulty) Eletta machines I tried (first one didn't pump water, second didn't clear itself of previous coffee pucks!) were bigger and noisier than this one - so I'm kind of pleased that they had to go back. Internally, they had mechanisms that moved the grinder up & down the machine - this one doesn't (it remains stationary). So I guess that means higher reliability for this machine as there's less to go wrong. Overall, after 2 weeks of owning and using this machine every day I'm very pleased with my purchase. I've made the switch from pods! Edit: Unit still going strong, but sometimes I found it difficult to get decent frothed milk (from semi-skimmed). Only when I noticed that this coincided with organic milk did I realise that this was the problem. Apparently the pasteurisation process for organic milk affects the proteins that are needed for a decent froth. As soon as I switch back to non-organic, a decent froth was restored! Edit 2: MORE FROTH ADVICE! My froth started getting worse and even non-existent at time, but after investigating I eventually found out why - and it's all due to the need for the frothing system to pull-in air to mix with the steam. There were two reasons for that air to fail to be mixed: 1) Where the frothing nozzle rubber 'plugs into' the unit's plastic plug, it's possible for scale/milk residue to accumulate in a small groove on the right-hand side of that plug. Once that's blocked, your froth can suffer or even disappear completely as that's where the air is sucked in. So keep that groove unblocked (and I don't think this is covered in the manual!). 2) If the frothing nozzle rubber makes too tight a fit at the top of that plug, then again it seems like this restricts the air that can come in to be mixed with the steam. Again, I think this is down to scale/milk residue building up over time.

So excited to receive this and it looks sleek and classy, plus it promises easy delicious coffee at the touch of a button. Sadly unable to even try this as it has arrived damaged and without a water filter. So guessing it is all down to me to navigate returning or working out how to get a replacement. I am extremely disappointed.

Bought this as a Christmas present to ourselves having grown tired of paying through the nose for inferior coffee from our old Nespresso machine. We have not been disappointed. Using quality beans the espresso is excellent with a good crema. The milk based coffees are also very good, and we particularly like the one-touch latte program which saves mucking about with different cups or jugs for milk and coffee. Only downside is that the drip tray needs emptying rather often, particularly because the machine pumps water through itself when going into standby around 25 minutes after use. But by keeping a pot under the nozzles after making coffee this is alleviated to some extent. Overall we are delighted with the machine, and it has drawn some envy from recent visitors who have a Delonghi machine. Edit - we have now had the machine 6 months and the coffee grinder has broken, so it's being sent to Siemens to fix it. 6 months is not very good longevity!

Easy to use and coffee is lovely

Amazing piece of kit !!! Buy one.

I ’ve had a very disappointing experience with the Siemens EQ 300 coffee machine. What makes it even more frustrating is that my previous Siemens machine worked flawlessly for almost 10 years — including 3 years in a busy office environment — without any major issues. Based on that experience, I expected similar reliability, but this model fell far short. The grinder failed after just two years of normal use (right after warranty expired, what a coincidence). Guess, this is unacceptable for a product in this price range. Looking back, I strongly suspect the grinder was not functioning properly from the very beginning — the coffee taste was never consistent, no matter how much I adjusted settings. Some cups were decent, others were weak or overly bitter, with no clear pattern. The design also leaves a lot to be desired. The water tank is quite small, requiring frequent refills, which becomes annoying with daily use. Even more frustrating is the lack of proper sensors for waste and rinse water. The machine seems to operate on fixed cycles rather than actual usage conditions, meaning it often asks for maintenance at inconvenient or unnecessary times. Overall, this feels like a major step down in quality and engineering compared to older Siemens machines. I wouldn’t recommend it.

It grinds very fine and brews good coffee. The froth sometimes is hit and miss but is a hit most times. The grinding is a bit loud but it only grinds for about 3 seconds so it’s negligible. Overall, the cleaning process is simple and the machine looks nice with other kitchen appliances. I’ll recommend this.
